What is Anime ?
Anime programs come in three flavors: TV shows, Movies,
and Original Animation Video (OAV or OVA). The latter were made expressly for the home
video market. In general, movies have the best animation quality, while TV shows use less
motion, and OAVs vary widely between those. Entertainment value is where you find it.
The vast majority of Japanese animation is only available in Japanese. But, there is a lot
of profession and fan-subtitled anime out there. Professional material can often be found
at large video stores and comic book shops. Fan-subtitled items are mostly available as
dubs from clubs and individuals. Scripts and excellent synopses for shows are often
available thru clubs and various BBSs and internet FTP sites. Getting a subtitled film or
a script is a necessity if you don't speak Japanese and want to actually understand a
film. :)
Most cities of even moderate size have an anime club somewhere. You might visit, write, or
call. They probably meet periodically and view the latest stuff, and probably have a
decent library. Also, most Science Fiction conventions have an Anime program in a room
someplace these days. Drop in and sample some stuff. An anime convention is probably the
best way to sample LARGE amounts of anime at once, (if you can tear yourself away from the
Guests, panels, and other activities to actually watch the stuff.) A complete listing of
upcoming conventions appears monthly in Animerica magazine and is also posted monthly to
the rec.arts.anime.info newsgroups.
What is Scheduled at SVC 2001?
